I was 7 years old when Hank passed away. I have been listening to him almost all my life and had never heard this gem performing for the troops overseas. This raises him in my view as a Vet myself (Navy) and a "taste" of home is always welcome.And a live performance is always a more neuanced to the time and audience. Thanks bunches. Now this 78 year old needs to get a copy of this one!!!!!

My guess is they called him The Lovesick Blues boy because The Lovesick Blues was one of his better known songs.

The Lovesick Blues is the song that made Hank Williams a household name. He received 6 encores when he performed it at the Grand Ol Opry in his Opry debut. It also earned him an invitation to join the Opry.

Hank made songs with deep social meaning but the record company wouldn't release them. They said they wouldn't sell. He finally pressured the record company into releasing it under the name Luke the Drifter.

Hank Sr learned to play and sing as a child from an black street guitar player in Alabama named Rufus Payne who people called Tee Tot. Hank Jr did a tribute song to Tee Tot in the early 2000's in a song simply called The Tee Tot song.

Yukon Jack is going to for sure taste sweet and syrupy. It is after all canadian blended whiskey and honey. I was a bourbon and Tennessee whiskey guy but I did on occasion enjoy a bit of YJ on ice. The Canadian version of it is 80 proof by the way. Not sure why. As to the song, Hank Jr. always talks about his and his dads music being blues or at least bluesy. A lot of the country old timers were influenced by blues men. The introduction they gave Hank on this recording was due to his song Lovesick Blues. A lot of the music back in the day was blues influenced to the point of including it in the song titles. jimmy Rodgers T.B. Blues is just one of many that he wrote that included blues in the title. Had to include a P.S. guys. Leaving you a link for a song by Waylon and Hank Jr. called The Conversation. It's the boys talkin' about Hank Sr. Oh and the dark haired waitress in the video is Jessi Colter who wrote a song called Storms Never Last which she and Waylon recorded. After their recording, a million others recorded it as well. She was also Waylon;s wife. Enjoy!! kzread.info/dash/bejne/laeDsLlmqrqsodY.html

While I was an instructor in the 70’s at the Northern Warfare Training Center - Fort Greeley Alaska, Yukon Jack had a special place for us. During summer training on Gulkana Glacier as we were about to get picked up, we’d go under the lower end of the glacier to chip out ice crystals and fill rubber bags. The large crystals started as a single snowflake and through a process grew into ice-cube up to fist size. Upon arrival back on Post we’d hit the club where everyone would drink YJ on the rocks - the glacier ice. Just one of those things that was so unique that it became a tradition of those times shared with a great group of guys. We usually code-worded it as “cough syrup”. Us old, long-retired SGM’s like to have unique remembrances of the good times!

Great take on the song! Back in the early 90’s, my buddy had a terrible head and chest cold. He invited a couple of us over while he “medicated “. We got there and he was drinking Yukon Jack, chasing it with beer and watching “The Outlaw Josey Wales” movie. My only experience with Yukon Jack.

Great reaction guys. You hit home, in so many ways, with this one. My dad is a huge Hank Williams fan. His music was the first non church music I ever heard. My parents would play his records around the house when I was a kid. Along with an old Jimmy Rodgers' record. That was a 78. As for Yukon Jack, that used to be our shot. Back when I was on a bowling league. If we weren't bowling very well, someone would say "Time for a team meeting". Then they would go buy a round of Yukon shots for the whole team. Of course sometimes we had " team meetings " when we were bowling well too. Lol! I believe Yukon Jack is a liqueur. Not 100% sure though. Thanks for bringing back memories of my miss spend youth. Keep up the good work.

I've said it before, but I'll say it again, this channel is turning me into a Blues fan! I guess it makes sense, I got into Country music because I loved western music (or as I grew up calling it Cowboy music.) Looking back a lot of the songs I loved had a ton of blues influence, or were downright blues songs! I just didn't know what the Blues were! I thought The Blues and Jazz were the same thing and I'm not a huge Jazz fan. Its fascinating how many genres of music are heavily influenced by The Blues!

Blues is the root of so much western music. I think largely because it so heavily uses a minor (get the pun?) variation of the minor pentatonic scale, which is generally easy to play and sounds appealing. I mean, the modal jazz stuff using all manner of oddball scales can be pretty impressive technical music, but it gives me a damned headache. - Keith

@davidjennings17718 ай бұрын
Keith, you often talk about citrus favor so there you go. Dustin is 100% correct, put it in the freezer, screw the ice. I used to carry a half pint bottle in my back pocket when I worked outside in very cold weather. I considered it anti-freeze. It was from Canada 40 years ago. It's a Liqueur I could taste orange and lemon and though it was a strong girls drink then. The other two bottles are variations i didn't know about in the nineteen eighties. Original was hard enough to find. On the OG music part, "Move it on Over" was Hank's first number one hit. That was in 1947! I believe Bill Haley and His Comments covered it soon after. I feel the same as Keith does about George. Hank is in the Rock "N" Roll Hall of Fame because of this song and several others he wrote or didn't write. Hank recorded near 200 songs before he died at 29 New Years Day 1953. His last B-Day on Sept 17th he would have been 100 years old. A lot of lyrics in so few years. He left hundreds more not completed by himself. Dylan. and many other completed a lot of them. Kristofferson just said, "If You Don’t Like Hank Williams" you can kiss my Ass". It's not a Sad one by Kris, hope you like it Dustin & Keith. The blues came from Tee Tot as in tea toller. His name was Rufus 'Tee Tot' Payne, a blues singer songwriter and musician. He was the person Hank paid as a teen to teach him how to sing play & write the blues. Hank Jr wrote a song about him guys, look it up, also try "The Conversation", by Hank Jr & Waylon Jennings, it'll explain the Family Tradition somewhat. Think about why Kris Kristofferson & Bob Dylan chose to Study Hanks way of crafting a song & singing it. My Dad looked and sang like Hank too! Enough for now. The Aimless One Enjoy the Anti-Freeze Guys!

We call Hank white soul. I'd never heard your version before yesterday. The blues licks must have been the USO backing band. It was good! Not normal Hank, sorry. Release Bill Haley next if possible. It's a chronological thing. You were drinking anti=freeze in my opinion when Dustin busted your balls. It will keep you warm if you moderate. The Larceny Bourbon is my gift to you guys for humoring me. Thank you both!!@@BourbonCountryReacts Check Dustin's expression to his first taste of Yukon Jack. You were listening to Hank and missed it. Think of it as a GI's respect and having the back of the American Leather Neck Music man. Aimless as Always

It's not a Sad one by Kris, hope you like it Dustin & Keith. The blues came from Tee Tot as in tea toller. His name was Rufus 'Tee Tot' Payne, a blues singer songwriter and musician. He was the person Hank paid as a teen to teach him how to sing play & write the blues. Hank Jr wrote a song about him guys, look it up, also try "The Conversation", by Hank Jr & Waylon Jennings, it'll explain the Family Tradition somewhat. Think about why Kris Kristofferson & Bob Dylan chose to Study Hanks way of crafting a song & singing it. My Dad looked and sang like Hank too! Enough for now.

Yes, I did Keith. Keep the USO in mind with the Germany thing. You'll find Hank singing a longer and better version on You-Tube. It has an ad that sells biscuits or something! We call Hank white soul. I'd never heard your version before yesterday. The blues licks must have been the USO backing band. It was good! Not normal Hank, sorry. Release Bill Haley next if possible. It's a chronological thing. You were drinking anti=freeze in my opinion when Dustin busted your balls. It will keep you warm if you moderate. The Larceny Bourbon is my gift to you guys for humoring me. Thank you both!!@@BourbonCountryReacts Check Dustin's expression to his first taste of Yukon Jack. You were listening to Hank and missed it. Think of it as a GI's respect and having the back of the American Leather Neck Music man. Aimless as Always

The first rock & roll song. Compare it to Bill Haileys later works which are currently considered to be the 1st rock & roll.

6:00 I don't even think the term "country" was used yet. Probably still ”hill billy music." And I don't think Nashville was very fond of being called that. And I think "Lovesick Blues" was one of his songs.

No matter the origin of the nickname used, the guitar was heavily blues-laden. *Almost* reminiscent of Robert Johnson type stuff. Almost. - Keith

The term "Country and western music" came around in 1949, so just a couple of years after this recording. Blues and country always danced together, but Hank was actually trained by a Blues guitarist named Rufus Payne.

We have a LOT of requests for "Brenda Put your Bra on." Hopefully, if we can get through all the bribes, we can get to some of those non-bribe requests. We've intentionally NOT been publishing the way to send us bribes, so we can get through them, and get back to some requests. - Keith
Lovesick Blues is one of Hank's songs. has nothing to do with the genre.
